SkyLETV said: Yeah, what a sexy spider demon! It was hilarious how they left Zenitsu behind xD Also, Saori Hayami <3  Spider Milf banzaiiii also Shinoubu DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNGGGG |
| There a theory why Zenitsu scream so much. People usually talk loudly when they in a noisy environment like a party or a construction site to make sure other hear what they said. Thanks to his hearing, Zenitsu basically always being in a noisy environment so he have develop a habit of screaming to get people attetion. |
| The animations & art in this anime are so gorgeous! The first person 3D scene where they were walking inside the forest was so real that it almost looked like e horror game! What an astonishing job they did with this episode. Finally, we're back to some serious issues & battle! So that's Inosuke's power, spatial awareness. Great episode but there were a few moments that i think the comedy timing wasn't the best but overall, amazing! |

| Inosuke wanting to kick a granny was beyond me! I also didn't know he had sensory powers in him, how interesting! I really can't wait to for that cliffhanger, how are they going to handle the mother spider and her children. Oh please on the comedy already!!!! |

Irondragon said: justtvalerie said: Couldn't have said it better myself! I agree 100%Me too. I had this anime rated a 9 until Zenitsu showed up. I have it at 7 now and I'm being generous because I'm still interested in the main plot and the animation is still great, otherwise it'd be a 5. It's honestly a huge disappointment for me how the amazing drama created in the first 10 episodes was completely ruined by this awful comedy. I don't dislike comedy in dramas, mind you, but this comedy just doesn't fit with the original mood the anime set. I'm so disappointed. It was my favorite anime of the season. And then Zenitsu is 2nd most popular character in the recent manga poll. |

| What was that sequence with the first person view just when they entered the forest (around the 10 min mark)? Was that CGI? If it was, kudos to ufotable. That's the most real cgi effect I've ever seen in anime, and by a long shot. I had to rewatch it multiple times to convince myself it wasn't real footage. All around a very good episode. At first I had my doubts about this show but it quickly became my favorite of last season, and seems like it's gonna stay that way this season too. |
| I am still trying to get accustomed to the comedy it felt less tacked on this episode. Inousuke trying to take down Granny for wish them well was funny to me. The stakes have been raised a bit if they're bringing in senior demon slayers. I wonder if these demon slayers have tried to fight Muzan Kibutsuji at some point? huntress1013 said: Reminded me of one of the early stories from Inyuasha, the demon who used her hair to manipulate people like puppets. Ahh I was trying to remember what demon this reminded me of and you're right it was an Inuyasha demon. Her name was Yura and she could control people with demon hair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYFGOg-bl_4 |

| Do they have any plans to change the OP and ED song? Will they reuse it until the series ends? It seems like people hate Zenitsu for freaking out but don't hate Inosuke for being brash and unreasonable. Yes he was but that doesn't make him any less annoying. He almost hit that sweet old lady at the Wisteria House and he almost injured himself trying to attack that demon up high in the trees. Despite their differences I do like them both and they each have their strengths and weaknesses. IMO, Inosuke becomes ways more likable AFTER this arc when he gets knocked down a peg or two. The Natagumo arc demon is my least favorite and honestly didn't care for their backstory but this battle will be important for them. |
| 臭い- |
| Good episode Tanjirou and Nezuko are only daily seen character I like. Nice seeing Giyu and Shinobu one of my favourites anime characters Zenitsu annoying as ever typical. Nezuko is not interest in you so there will be no Nezuko x Zenitsu unless they do same garbage like sasuke x Sakura or Ichigo x Orihime. Good thing they left him behind.Now is time too see Tanjirou and Inosuke fights this demons. |

| Spider demons? Yikes! And the most creepy looking one is yet to be introduced >_< Pretty good episode overall. The interactions between Tanjirou, Zenitsu and Inosuke are still being as great as in the previous episode and the transition between comedy and action didn't feel jarring in the slightest, which I really appreciate. I also loved how they handled Inosuke's technique. The way Ufo makes use of 3D spaces always impress me. So far, the beginning of this arc looks rather promising. Can't wait to see how the studio will handle it! Nezuko-chaaaan~ |

Before he made his appearance Kimetsu no Yaiba was petty serious, a dark story were blood thirsty oni slaughter whole families without mercy and eat them but now everything is a fucking joke. They went into a spider forest were a whole group of demon slayers had already disappeared and a I just couldn't take the threat serious at all. And I can't believe he is 2nd in popularity, I guess people like terrible characters who scream a lot... Irondragon said: Omg I fucking hate Zenitsu! I don't care is he is supposed to be comedic relieve he fucking sucks! Always screaming and moaning about the smallest things. He is really ruining this great anime for me. And Zenitsu is the 2nd most popular character. I don't understand the hate for him. He is funny. |

He is funny. It called Japanese humor. People of difference culture found difference thing funny. Also the grim dark and serious tone of the story nearly lead to the series getting axe. Just because it a story about something bloodthristy monster doesn't mean it have to be serious all the time. Tone contrast is important. if you only get to see the gritty serious stuff all the time it gonna get stale fast. As for why Zenitsu is popular, it's because the most grounded character in the series and his development and character exploration are great. |

He is funny. Thank you. You're the first I guess who mentioned that what Zenitsu is actually doing is SEXUAL HARASSMENT (how funny this is!) . I guess people who like this guy are probably virgin teenagers who never had girlfriend who were relentlessly pursued by a creepy guy (they should watch the beginning of the 2nd episode of Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo" from this season, there's a Zenitsu there too) . I wish them a Zenitsu in their real life. If they ever have a nice girlfriend or sister, they will "love" him. No wonder the birth rate in japan is plummeting : what kind of girl would like to stick with guys who find sexual harassment funny. Poor Japanese girls ! |

True but I think there are better ways to lighten the mood than adding an obnoxious character like Zenitsu. At the moment I'm having a really hard time not dropping this series because of him even knowing that he might get better in the future. I don't know maybe I'm getting to old to like characters that have to scream/shout everything they say. |
| I'm disappointed that there is no new opening yet. I'm curious if Nezuko will become some sort of unlock for Zenitsu to realize that he is actually really strong. Also I love everything about Inosuke. |
Digimon is the best Isekai  |
| Demon mom with tits attacks, oh boy...and motherlovin' spiders...why?!!! Loving the trio's dyanmic though, good comedic relief given the dark atmosphere of the series |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| ITS SPIDERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| So it's arachnophobia this few episodes! The beginning chase is pure trash but I love it, it's very hilarious. Out from Wisteria and into Mount Naganumo to defeat spiders. It's easy to see how the demons will manipulate people, through strings. Simple enough. Unfortunately, it's not just one, but a family of puppet masters. However, Inosuke's power is something else. With his power, he is able to perform spatial awareness, which begs the thought: Tanjirou is "smell (no) evil", Zenitsu is "hear (no) evil", Inosuke is "touch (no) evil". Great episode. And dat 3D forest scene, very well animated as per Ufotable's standards. |
 |
| I love this anime so much! I can't wait for next week. I think Tanjirou and Inosuke are a great duo. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| It's always super hard to fight these kind of opponents. |
 |
| So will this get a second OP and ED at all? I just gotta say I love Zenitsu's Sparrow. |
| Oh I love these spider demons but is it wrong it made me sad watching the spiderlings get smooshed? LOL I like Inosuke's spatial awareness to go with the smell and hearing of the other two. They are definitely a strong trio if Zenitsu can get himself together. |
| Zenitsu is really starting to grate on my nerves. At least Boarman is improving slightly. |
| Start of a new arc means another set of hype moments so count me the fuck in |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| So satisfying when Inosuke punched the generic Demon Slayer in the face for mentioning the ranks. |
| This group does not mesh well at all. There at least seemed to be some potential with Insouke and Tanjiro when it was just the two of em, and Inosuke has a chilled out a little bit. Zenitsu really needs to calm down. I suppose he will eventually become aware of the magnificent steiner. |
| another awesome and fun episode. this anime never disappoints! |
| First half was suuuuuper slow and second half was like suuuuuper boring. Idk am I the only one seeing it? The animation is quite bad too. Everyone's stiff and there isn't a lot of action compared to the first episodes. I guess Ufo should have taken that break before second cour lmao |
| "You are not the brightest banana in the bunch, are ya kid? (...) These kids just keep getting weirder." |
| It's getting pretty fun and lively with Inosuke and Zenitsu around. Shinobu and Tomioka are being sent to the mountain too. So the devils in that mountain really are strong. |
 |
| Nice, we're starting a new arc. The designs for the spider demons are cool. We finally got to see Inosuke's power. I feel like Inosuke and Tanjiro work better as a team without Zenitsu. |
| Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwnnn... The demons are so boring with their gimmicky abilities... |

| I hate Zenitsu with the fiery power of a thousand suns, but I'm not gonna let this garbage character ruin the show for me. Inosuke wasn't much better, but he has seemed to shift into something more palatable with this last episode and has a pretty awesome fighting style. Is Zenitsu gonna change into something more tolerable or are we gonna be putting up with this nonsense for the long haul? Because of if so, it's gonna really hurt this series. |

Beware_the_Bear said: I felt the urge to find some people to speak with about this show and Zenitsu's Screaming and what it has done to my opinion of the show. I thought i would find an ton of people who are similarly fed up and suffering this over the top incessant screaming that takes up a 1/3rd of an episode. I didn't think i would actually find overwhelming support for, in the 12 years I've been watching anime, THE WORST CHARACTER I personally can remember. Even with Asta's screaming he balances it out with fighting. I've never gone from loving a show, looking forward to the next week to on the brink of dropping it completely due to a supporting character.To find one actually saying " I had to catch myself twice from losing it!" was a true shock. I understand that people have different tastes and likes. I also haven't gone through the steps to make this post just to be mean. I am genuinely intrigued by what is redeeming or funny in the 4 episodes he has been in that you would look forward to MORE of him. The top annoying character for me was Usopp before finding the Hope Diamond of Pestilence - Zenitisu. Usopp still leads because of the Going Merry arc which I just cant forgive him for but if my intuition is correct, its not going to get better but get far worse than the current insufferable character depicted. i just... i just want to know why. Good question. I've been voicing my displeasure at what happened to this show in the last 4 episodes and all I get from manga fanboys is that Zenitsu is the 2nd most popular character (like that means anything, lol) and that I should just put up or shut up. I perfectly understand comic relief in an otherwise dark tale. I really do. If done right, it raises the narrative level. But in this case the problem is...it's simply not funny. Zenitsu's screaming is not funny. I don't care what anyone says. Its annoying and worst of all, distracting. Don't get me started on the creepy stalking of Nezuko. At least Inosuke sometimes speaks normally. You're not alone with your way of thinking. The score which had been consistently going up, plateaued and is now slowly creeping downward. I expect to see more of this. At least we finally got some creepy demon action this episode and oh Spider lady was hawt. |

| A nice intro into the new arc, the comedy juxtaposed with the serious elements quite well to better the pacing. A good episode; I'm keen to see where this arc goes, as well as Tanjiro and Inosuke's power in comparison to their actual ranks. Although I'm mostly interested in Zenitsu. When he's actually using her power, I wonder how strong he is? |
